Trump needs what are now labeled extreme right people. Who believe being persecuted something to rejoice in. Fundamental Christians. Thier opponents find that very frustrating to behold.
It seems deeply ironic that the protesters chose this location, given that Ellis Island was the site of such strict control of those desiring to immigrate to America that they examined each one individually, separating out the sick, the apparently mentally or physically handicapped, and anyone else the inspectors disliked, only to send them back on the same ships that brought them. Today’s ICE is much kinder.
[Wash Times] Liberty Island was evacuated Wednesday and at least 10 people arrested as a group of self-styled "Resistance" members demonstrated at the iconic Statue of Liberty.
At least one of the protesters was a woman who tried to scale the statue on America’s Independence Day to protest President Trump and demand that immigration enforcement end.
The woman made it as high as the Statue of Liberty’s midsection, Sgt. Dave Somma, U.S. Park Police public information officer, told TV station WNBC in New York.
The whole island was evacuated as a precaution, he said.
The Park Police already had arrested several other people for unfurling a banner saying "Abolish I.C.E." at the statue.

There's another Statue of Liberty in Colmar, FR. Easy access, a 3.9 +/- climb at worst. I recommend they go there to protest. I doubt the French will find it amusing, but give it a go.

Leave her be! She climbed up she can damn well climb down; on her own. The public till is not open to all who behave recklessly. I recall that as a young teenager my mother asking me "where are you going?" and immediately followed by "never mind - I dont want to know".

[Breitbart] Clinton-era Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has slammed U.S. efforts to secure the border, telling the BBC that the immigration policy of President Donald J. Trump "makes it very hard for America to tell Europeans ... to be more humane"
Promoting her new book entitled Fascism: A Warning on the Andrew Marr Show, the former U.S. Secretary of State said she has been "very troubled" by the Trump administration’s moves to end the ’catch and release’ of illegals into American communities while they await immigration hearings.
America’s former ambassador told the BBC that detentions at the U.S. border "remind one of things that happen in fascist countries",
...although historically such people were attempting to escape the fascist country at issue, not enter it, and were therefore being detained by their own border guards before they manage to cross into the non-fascist country next door...
adding that "there’s plenty of room for people in the United States and there are a lot of companies now saying that we need them".
When people ask her opinion "about what’s happening to Europe on the same issue", Albright said she thinks the President’s "offensive" crackdown on illegal immigration "makes it very hard for America to tell Europeans what to do if we can’t figure out how to be more humane ourselves". Someone, anyone, please tell me why it is necessary for the U.S. to "demand" the Europeans (or anyone else) do anything.
In general one expects diplomats to be diplomatic, persuading or negotiating rather than demanding.

A menacing mug had Mad Madame,
Like sixty-four klicks of macadam,
Bare feet all the way
In the heat of the day:
She demanded, they did as she bad 'em!
And speaking of subconscious misogyny (and nurse sharks IIRC)... pulled out of the pile from way back before "Shark Stories" was even a thing...
A neurotic young clerk of Hyde Park
Had much rather spark in the dark.
Alas, as it lightened
The poor lad was frightened
And fled like a worm from the lark.
Europe needs to close it's borders to gimmigrants and so does the US.
No migration for ANYONE on less than average wage.
No migration without a good conduct sponsor who pays out if the migrant is a criminal
No Migration without medical insurance

I really don't have an issue with immigration. Legal Immigration that is. The one thing I really don't like about this whole issue is say one thing and you immediately get labeled a racist or whatever the wing nuts can come up with

Tell me mad Maddie: If these gimmegrants are "that "there’s plenty of room for people in the United States and there are a lot of companies now saying that we need them". such hot-shots, why can't they just stay home and build their own utopia?

If Vienna offered free food, education, medical coverage, housing, income tax exemption.... I might consider learning to speak Austrian, and immigrating as well.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
